進出獅子坑的但以理 Daniel, the Man Who Entered and Emerged from the Lion’s Den

但以理與他三位朋友都是一樣的人, 都是神忠心的見証人, 無論在任何環境裡, 在火窯裡或是在獅子坑裡, 他們都不會放棄信仰的。提後 3:12不但如此, 凡立志在基督耶穌裡敬虔度日的也都要受逼迫。這是使徒保羅對教會的提醒, 當我們要過敬虔生活, 要為基督作見証, 受逼迫是免不了的, 你預備好了嗎?

Like his three friends, Daniel was a faithful witness for the Lord. He did not abandon his faith in the face of persecution. This week, Rev. Jeremiah Cheung talks about how persecution is inevitable in the path towards a godly life. The question is: “How ready are we to face it?”
